Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide variety of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may join the airport’s official transit tour programme into the city, which typically requires several hours between flights.

Shorter transits are well spent exploring the terminals, relaxing in dedicated rest zones, or visiting airport attractions such as viewing decks and family-friendly play areas. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may use the International First and Business Class Lounge, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Access is determined by your departing flight from Chongqing and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance tier.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers travelling in premium cabins or holding qualifying KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their class of travel and frequent flyer tier.

Chongqing follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Darwin follows Australian Central Standard Time, which is UTC+9:30 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Darwin is therefore 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Chongqing throughout the year.

Singapore Airlines flights between Chongqing and Darwin via Singapore typically operate from the same terminal at Singapore Changi Airport, making connections straightforward. The exact terminal may vary, so we recommend you check your e-ticket and airport flight information screens on the day of travel.

We design our Chongqing to Darwin itineraries with sufficient minimum connecting time at Singapore Changi Airport for a smooth transfer. If you book both sectors on one Singapore Airlines ticket, your connection will meet our standards. For added comfort, many travellers prefer a slightly longer layover for dining or a short rest.

On arrival in Darwin, you will clear immigration and customs before entering the public arrivals area. Allow extra time if you are connecting to domestic flights within Australia. Local ground transport options include public transport and dedicated airport transfer services, which you can review on arrival or in advance with local providers.
